is an Environmental Engineering master's candidate at Michigan Technological University. She graduated in 2019 from Michigan Tech with a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering. Her current research focuses on perceptions of first year engineering students on the engineering disciplines as well as sustainable landfill design.

Early efforts to address sustainability within the mining industry (GMI and ICMM) did not create a common set of protocols by which individual operations could be clearly ranked on their performance. The Mining Association of Canada’s Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM) program provides protocols to address biodiversity, tailings management, crisis management, safety and health, energy/GHGs, and aboriginal/community engagement. The TSM program has been mandatory for MAC members to implement at their Canadian operations since 2004. Progress along these indicators shows how well the industry is doing at addressing sustainability along each concept, and where further progress is still needed.

before earning his Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Michigan. He has been on the faculty of the Michigan Tech Computer Science Department since 2000. His experiences as a computer scientist, linguist, and software developer drive his research exploring how humans can better understand, build, and use software. His work has been funded by the National Science Foundation, Google, Microsoft Research, and the U.S. Department of Defense. Dr. Wallace's Agile Communicators project, supported by an NSF IUSE award, seeks to build an enhanced curriculum for computing programs that emphasizes inquiry, critique and reflection, grounded in authentic software development settings. Tools in this project include process oriented guided inquiry learning, automated feedback to students through an intelligent tutoring system, case studies in software communication, and guided reflective exercises on team communication. As part of this research, the Agile Communicators team has investigated communication practices in a variety of student and professional software development environments. Wallace has been intimately involved with undergraduate Computer Science curriculum development since his arrival in 2000. He cofounded Michigan Tech's Software Engineering degree program in 2003. Wallace currently serves as Director of Undergraduate Programs for the Computer Science Department. In conjunction with his research projects, he has founded local outreach efforts in computer education for middle and high school students and digital literacy for senior citizens.
